Typical Use Cases
Compatible systems
The Dell S5224F-ON is a standalone managed switch compatible with open-source and proprietary network operating systems via ONIE. It requires SFP28 and QSFP28 transceivers (customer-supplied), standard Ethernet patch cables, dual AC power feeds, and 19-inch rack infrastructure. Out-of-band management via console ports and in-band management via SNMP/SSH enable integration with enterprise network management platforms.

Frequently asked questions
What is the switching capacity and port configuration of the Dell S5224F-ON?
The S5224F-ON delivers 2.16 Tbps of non-blocking switching capacity with 24 x 25GbE SFP28 ports and 4 x 100GbE QSFP28 ports. This configuration supports 600 Gbps aggregate throughput on the 25GbE side and 400 Gbps on the 100GbE side, enabling wire-speed forwarding across all ports simultaneously for high-density data center deployments.
Does the S5224F-ON support open networking and custom operating systems?
Yes. The S5224F-ON supports ONIE (Open Network Install Environment), enabling zero-touch installation of open-source and third-party network operating systems such as SONiC, ONL, and OpenSwitch. This eliminates vendor lock-in and allows organizations to deploy their preferred NOS and management tools.
What routing and security protocols does this switch support?
The S5224F-ON supports advanced L3 routing protocols including OSPF, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, BGP-4, and policy-based routing (PBR). Security features include RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication, MD5 encryption, ACLs, and 802.1X port-based access control. It also supports VLAN tagging, spanning tree variants (STP, RSTP, MSTP), and VRRP for redundancy.
What are the power and cooling specifications?
The switch includes two hot-swappable 750W AC power supplies (1500W total redundancy) supporting 120/230V at 50/60Hz. Operational power consumption is 400W. The 1U form factor supports both standard (I/O to PSU) and reverse (PSU to I/O) airflow configurations, enabling flexible data center cooling strategies.
What is the MAC address table capacity and VLAN support?
The S5224F-ON maintains 160,000 MAC address entries, 128,000 ARP entries, and supports up to 4,000 Layer 2 VLANs with 64 MSTP instances. This enables multi-tenant isolation, microsegmentation, and complex network topologies in large enterprise and cloud environments.
Is this switch suitable for top-of-rack (ToR) deployments?
Yes. The compact 1U form factor, 24 x 25GbE server-facing ports, and 4 x 100GbE uplink ports make it ideal for ToR deployments. The 2.16 Tbps switching capacity ensures non-blocking performance, and support for breakout cables on QSFP28 ports provides additional flexibility for mixed-speed network designs.
What management and monitoring capabilities are included?
The switch supports SNMP v1/v2, SSH-2, Telnet, TFTP, SCP, and CLI-based management. It includes a serial console port (RS-232 RJ-45) and Micro-USB console for out-of-band management. LLDP support enables automatic neighbor discovery, and comprehensive syslog and SNMP trap capabilities support centralized monitoring and alerting.
